The egg began to glow with heat until the egg suddenly burst, sending shards of shell in all directions.
Lying on the floor where the egg had been was.....
...a lizard.

Location: Fire Breathing Fortress
LORD VOID stared at the lizard, confounded. Majisto was equally stumped. Lord Void turned slowly to Majisto and growled quietly "I believe you said that egg contained a dragon, NOT a lizard!"

"Then explain it!" Lord Void shouted.
Majisto scampered off, beard swishing. Within a minute he had returned, toting a large and old-looking scroll. He unrolled it and scanned the runes printed on the page before giving a triumphant snort.
"My Lord," he said, relieved, "I know our plight. Before us is indeed the great dragon of Eroth Gamus, but we are missing two key ingredients needed to complete it's hatching."
"And they are??"
"Two very rare and magical objects, the Duel Pendants of King Kris!"*
also known as the pendants owned by Reno and Aros

BJARN looked about him, taking in the all the features of the flat Crusader land.
What a dull place this Crusader territory is, Bjarn thought grumpily,
No trees, no hills, nothing except grass and flatlands...
Bjarn stared up at the sun, telling the time.
One o' clock. If I hurry I'll get to the tiny Crusader village Olgendale before nightfall.

Dale shook her awake. "Some one approaches..." he whispered.
